HR control training
• In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the target pulse rate
(beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate from the fol-
lowing table, based on your age and physical fitness level (PFL)
from 1 to 5.
• If the target you select is difficult, reduce the target pulse rate by 10
bpm. You need not work hard from the beginning, continuing is
most important.
• This table is arranged so that even people who have not exercised so
much can benefit. The targets in this table may be too easy for
people who exercise often. If you have confidence, increase your
target in 10 bpm units, referring to the target zone in the illustration
on page 24 ~ 25.
• Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute
period is even better.
• If overweight control (calorie combustion) is the purpose of the ex-
ercise, set the target pulse rate lower so that you can easily exercise
even while watching TV, but extend your exercise time longer, ex-
ceeding 30 minutes.

Constant wattage control training
• In this program the exercise intensity is set by the work rate: watt-
age. Select the target wattage from the table shown below, according
to your PWCmax. value provided by the Aerobic Power Measure-
ment.
• If the selected wattage proves too hard for you, try again at the level
10 watts lower. When it becomes easy enough, raise the target by 10
watts.
• Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute
period is even better. Since warm up takes 3 minutes, set your actual
exercise time to "actual exercise time + 3 minutes".
Hill training
•Merely select one of the 3 hill profile training patterns in this pro-
gram. Try different hill profiles (shape of the mountain) in a range
where you don't feel too much difficulty. The exercise intensity can
also be adjusted by pedaling slower or faster depending on the
changes of pedal resistance.
• First, choose the most suitable preference (PRF) according to your
PWCmax value, from the table shown right.
• The cycle time for a given pattern is 15 minutes. The same pattern is
repeated in accordance with the exercise time.
• The calorie consumption provided right is based on the cadence of
60 rpm and the exercise time of 20 minutes. The calorie expenditure
will vary in proportion with the pedal cadence and the exercise time.
